The event started with the screening of a short film called “German Heritage in Azerbaijan”.

Speaking at the event, Nasimi Aghayev, Azerbaijani Ambassador to Germany, said the relations between the two countries have an ancient history. He noted that the first German settlements were established in Azerbaijan about 200 years ago, and since then, friendly and friendly relations between Germans and Azerbaijanis have been formed.

As for the current state of Azerbaijan-Germany relations, the diplomat emphasized the significant role of mutual visits in further deepening bilateral ties. Recalling that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev made a successful visit to Germany this March, Ambassador Aghayev noted that this visit marked the opening of a new page in relations between the two countries.
